Chanco is not just for kids - Cursillo

Cursillo is a movement within the Episcopal Church and is a method to grow closer to Jesus Christ, build community among the faithful, and strengthen leaders within the church. Cursillo weekends occur three times annually in the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia.  There is a fall Co-ed weekend (men and women attend, but small groups are single gender); and a Women's weekend and Men's weekend both held in the spring.  All weekends are held at Chanco on the James and are developed by a team of leaders who have experienced the weekend themselves and are excited to share that experience with others. The upcoming Co-Ed weekend is October 15-18 and the time is closing on registering for this amazing retreat.  If meeting new friends, learning more about the Episcopal Church, and sharing worship, fellowship, faith and fun with others from throughout our diocese sounds like it might be for you, visit www.cursillodsv.org for more information or contact the Rector for the October weekend, Richard Toll, at ritoll@cox.net.  The Men's weekend will be April 14-17, 2016 with Rector Joe Jerauld leading team and the Women's weekend will be April 28-May 1, 2016 with Rector Debbie Hazzard. We hope to see you at one of these fantastic adult retreats at Chanco!
